Selected Works by Chantal Joffe

Chantal Joffe

Black Camisole

2004, Oil on board

336 x 290 cm

Hung around the gallery like banners, her visceral ten-foot tall portraits of women from the fashion pages are like a degenerate version of social realism.

Chantal Joffe

Mother and Child I

2005, Oil on board

304 x 122 x 6.3cm

Although the models are undoubtedly human, with cares and woes, more anodyne characteristics and expressions are imposed by stylists and photographers. Joffe seems to resurrect these women as real people, the paint reanimating faces that were previously mask-like.

Chantal Joffe

Mother and Child II

2005, Oil on board

243 x 182 x 6.3cm

The process of painting was very physical, requiring scaffolding and stamina. Unlike easel paintings, they could not easily be stepped back from to survey progress. As a result, the paint seems to have had as much control over the outcome as the artist; often a drip or a brushstroke creates a dynamic that could never have been premeditated.

Chantal Joffe

Walking Woman

2004, Oil on board

Chantal Joffe has a distinctive style of painting which offers an uncompromising sense of power, complexity and impetus to the female figures she portrays.

Chantal Joffe

Woman with Flowers

2004, Oil on board

Chantal Joffe uses her works to emphasize the psychological relations of her characters to one another and to the viewer.

Chantal Joffe

Snowy Car

2004, Oil on board

The direct and liquid painting style that Chantal Joffe uses has the effect of filling her subjects with personality. The images possess an alarming humour; highly enjoyable and strangely provoking.
